I do not really feel like engaging the wrong kind of people.  That said, what are the possible reasons my account was stolen if not to profit from signature ads?  I could see how a stolen cell phone could be of use but a stolen bitcointalk account?  Aside from sig ads raising money, and that the high number of *my* posts, the first 1639 on the username (now 2401 last time I looked), would make the account attractive to those with something to sell.  That reason is clear.  For something illegal?  Not likely, their IP would be on record I assume.

Okay thanks.

I've used cgminer.  Thanks.  

And I've half considered that the cost would be too high.

I thought it might be nice to see how well Intel could do should it put its mind to it.  But then again, like I don't sell my older miners because I don't want the angst when the sucker can't make a profit, that US power is perhaps a third higher than elsewhere that data centers are running, if Intel fielded a miner and we the buyers running it in the US lose money, they don't want the angst - even if a most efficient ASIC were possible.  I can remember when in a prototype lab wirewrapping the modules for a switching server amplifier, the company's product lines were not generally sold to the public but to businesses that incorporated the controllers, motors, etc.  The public was just not in the sales picture.  Of course one can buy an Intel CPU no problem, but still.  On the other hand those who do build cutting edge ASICs are harvesting the spinoffs and there must be some.

When will an Intel ASIC chip board (functional miner) be available for purchase?  Best guess?  What should I look for in the general news?

This might be my last miner purchase even if there's a cheaper competitor available from Asia.  One can't really ignore the Zeitgeist.

Well, looking at the current list of the username's posts, the first 1639 posts are mine and the next 762 posts seem by perhaps various authors, in English and French, on the US bitcointalk and the French bitcointalk.  And there's a sketchy sense about those posts.

Having the username given red trust - not helpful to me.  I'd like it returned and maybe only those 762 posts by others, branded as posted while the account was stolen.  I can no longer afford to mine and my trading skills suck.  So, I'll not likely log another 1639 posts.

I believe I've sent Cyrus data that should be sufficient to establish the account had been mine.

Yes, I see a recent user of my username soy has a number of sig ads.  Also this user has a French blog on how to exploit BitMEX using futures or something like futures. 

I will do as you suggest.

soy39

OK.  I've been oblivious to sigs with ads.  Considered a sig once to include a comment not an ad.  Only looked at the What are Signature Campaigns? thread today.

I appreciate your reply.

I tried asking questions on the topic thread but it seems closed, e.g. no Reply button.

1. If another user has some signatures is there a way to see how much the user has earned from the sigs?

2. Are higher ranked users, Legendary, Full Member, Member, paid different rates for carrying the sigs?

3. If a user ignored the May 24, 2015 direction to change his password, had a higher than Jr. Member status, and had his username hijacked, and the hijacked username now has a string of sigs, and the ethernet address posted shows large amounts of eth moving through, is there anything the real owner of the username need to worry about?  If he's in another time zone on another continent will that disrupt my sleep or would that be something to do with the large amounts of eth moving through?

Well, maybe not so paternal:  https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-life-like-in-xinjiang-reeducation-camps-china-2018-5

Not a lie.  Go back far enough and you'll see my posts about fabricating a heatsink for a block erupter and later changing a BE chip.

My Legendary soy handle has been stolen.  Assuage your guilt.  Give me bitcoin.  Address: 36J3dAW8WNnJX1z8HfTd1aYJzH9iX3L6Tg

The TRUE soy

A real cynical view might be that we want to make America broke and difficult except for the rich while raising the standard of living in China and elsewhere so they'd be less likely to immigrate here.

The paternal effect of spreading the work and wealth in China, if my mackerel can example is valid, is the polar opposite of here where the wealthy are get it while the getting is good and damn the  hindmost & screw the wage earner.  Less difficult to get a table at a nice restaurant if most of the country can't afford the meal.

The argument that starting bitcoin futures contracts on 12/17/2017 explains the ramp up to and decline from that date seems sound.  Just look at bitcoin on the 3 day scale of bitcoinwisdom.  This July pump and August dump seems clear.

Money is essentially going out rather than in.  Are miners always harvesting then immediately cashing in?  Wonder what fraction of trading that volume accounts for.

But, why would the ETF (whatever that is) cause an increase in bitcoin market cap if money is going out not in?

If the fiat financial world looks at cryptocurrency as a cash cow that can be milked with programs and schemes presently in use in the fiat financial world, then an ETF will just make matters worse.

I learned in school, the Catholic Church once tried setting a maximum percentage that money may earn, this in order to protect workers.  I don't think credit cards meet its standard.

I got a kick our of finding that On The Firing Line years ago, the gentleman who was representing the Left, is a former CIA operative who had been tasked with bringing cash to France post WWII to pay to have the effective unionizing defeated.  It was.

China, post WWII tried to establish a healthy relationship between capitalism and working wage.  We killed it.  Then the Chinese Communist revolution.

So, making an effort to use more cans, so more refrigerators can be manufactured, so more stoves can be manufactured, so more sofas can be built, so workers can earn a wage that can improve their lives, isn't what's been happening in this country.

I care about bitcoin.  Bitcoin futures trading, profiting, begs pump and dump.  The concept of cryptocurrency is prone to taking bad hits with the dump.  And the long term constancy of the downward trend since 12/17/2017 says wealth is being pumped out faster than it's being put in.

I treat my animals for parasites prophylactically.  Futures trading is parasitic.

Edit: must be an effect from the noise of a neo-nazi on Vice News.  No extermination implied for those who pumped in July and dumped in August.  Maybe taxing futures contracts harshly would help the economy.

I see the Buffett Market Indicator has broken 140%.  Total market cap to gross domestic product.

So, there's more money in making money with money than there is Gross Domestic Product at present.

I now have cats, I use to have a couple of dogs.  I have chickens.  A rat problem developed, them feeding on the chicken scratch.  Used common store bought rat poison but heard it kills the owls and there are owls, or were.  Whole neighborhood got rats.  I started feeding a small stray cat then another.  Then ferrule cats brought their litters as my 3 acres are fenced.  Had 24 kittens earlier this year and brought most to the county animal shelter.  I was wishing kittens were bitcoins.  Just now I have another round of kittens.  I like to feed the mom's mackerel.  I fed a skinny kitten mackerel last year and it's sharper than the others.  So, I buy a lot of mackerel but the large least expensive national chain has failed to keep it on the shelves and sometimes goes weeks without refilling.  So I ordered online and had them deliver.  Cheaper and delivery was free if one orders enough.  I look at the box.  Product of China.  And I had first rejected this brand as the mackerel was in brine and it was mostly brine I thought.  So, to check, I bought the next best competitor, drained the brine from both, weighed the product, and found the brand from China a better buy.  But you see what's happening.  They move cans and labels.  They make work.  The employees at the canning facilities have a better income to rent an apartment, buy a washing machine, refrigerator, move up.  We have a Buffett Market Indicator of 140%.  I blame it on futures.

Sorry I can't put my finger on it but an article on Mr. Musk's thoughts of going private was clearly to avoid the detractors driving down the stock value and diverting his attention from getting things done. 

Okay so the stock is traded in NY not in Chicago where futures contracts are made.  Detractors' power is what makes futures contracts so powerful.  In the '70's college economic class, local nights not a top notch tower of higher learning, we were told of crop futures contracts trading on the Chicago Mercantile and that it was about protecting from crop losses due to acts of God. 

JFK was the first television elected president.  That changed politics.  Television in large part then on informed our, the country's, decisions.  Futures contracts were expanded to other matters including currency.  Why?  What the people learned from TV could be controlled.  Those who then controlled TV were now the gods of our time.  And futures contracts profited from and danced to the tune of the gods of our time.

Going private would mean what?  He's offered to buy out those holding stock and I suppose those who wanted could keep what they have.  By avoiding detractors I'd guess that numbers would be out of public view and the stock no longer traded in NY? 

I understand profits aren't great from the manufacture of the car but I look at Mr. Musk's accomplishments and believe he's well worth supporting as well as his workplace philosophy.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any way to buy Tesla stock with btc?  Before it goes private?

So the user is posting in French.  Wonder if he posts with a Japanese accent like a Frenchman who might have spend time in a Japanese jail might have (after losing 11.82627776btc of mine).  And I gave him such good advice about answering the indictment from New York (the advice was he should check into South Oaks Hospital and be escorted to court from there to avoid the local jail.)

It's them darn Europeans.  I had a handle on freechess.org of soyrunner.  I had a webpage soyrunner.  I failed to renew and a Spanish running shoe sales person grabbed it.

Okay, no posts for 120 days on this topic but whoever stole my handle soy (Legendary) continues to post on other forums.

I see this post to which I reply has posted an ETH address.  Wonder if it got him rich.  Anyway, about time I owned eth on Coinbase, this between 6/14/17 and 10/2/17 (purchase and sale reported to the IRS).  Wonder if I could have posted this myself for some reason (will be 70 this year and memory is decidedly faulty).  But, the handle was soon blocked to me on bitcointalk.org and I started using soy39.

I see I need an address to prove the account is mine.  Many times I've proven the ownership of a wallet while buying block erupters but I doubt I ever put an address on bitcointalk.org.  Not that I'm incapable, I have two Bitcoin-QT cores running maintaining the blockchain.  In fact some of my last posts using the soy handle was about getting a blockchain on an RPI2 and that has been running with an external drive ever since with a battery backup that really saves day.  Then another blockchain that catches up at night.

Not sure how I can get this fixed without previously posting an address.  Maybe rescan the burro photo and attached that to a wallet address sig althought it not yet associated to the soy handle?

You, sir, are a thief.  You seem to have stolen my legendary handle 'soy', which in the past had as an icon a photo of me leading a mute burro in the Rockies northwest of Denver in 1985 roughly 9 or 10 months before the Chernobyl meltdown.
